They see the Red Storm that is Obamacare on the horizon;which wasn't designed to appear long after their retirement, and the motes dug around their castles.

You have to break a lot of eggs--sometimes millions-- to make a marxist, utopian omelet. The problem with America, is the eggs are armed. 2 years of rage from watching your loved one die because they cannot get treatment (but, hey they're covered!) leads to an inevitable conclusion.

Yes, the one's bailing had a hand, and know what they've done. The rest--stupid, apathetic, or true believers that they are untouchable like Pelosi will ride it out.

Some of the things on Waxman's list seem laudable and are worth bragging about. But, I didn't see him bragging about the HIPPA laws on his resume. Why isn't he bragging about them? Criminalizing the normal flow of medical information is a major accomplishment.

Yea. Pretty cool. Pretty cool that the government has to write more convoluted laws and regulations because fudge packers don't have enough self-control to keep their deadly disease from spreading throughout the rest of the population.

The law that says a 1st responder is not required to come to the aid of someone who's death is imminent, is found somewhere in a union contract.

Incumbent Democrats retiring leave the voters with a choice between a new Republican, or a NEW Democrat. I think many people look forward to voting against "the incumbent" . When the incumbent is not on the ballot, that opportunity is removed. This is how people like Sandra Fluke could actually be a contender.
